Airlines Would Enjoy Cut In Fuel Tax; VFR Piston Pilots Would
Get A Break
It's different... but it sure doesn't appear that much better.
The Hill newspaper reports the FAA funding reauthorization bill to
be introduced before the Senate this week, by Senators Jay
Rockefeller and Trent Lott, would phase out a 4.3 cent per gallon
tax airlines pay for fuel... while also introducing a new per-trip
fee for piston and turbine general aviation pilots who fly under
IFR flight plans.
